Clara Vuillemin studied mechanical and electronic engineering in Lausanne and Moscow. Her working experience includes numerous jobs: working on a farm and with NGOs in New York, Perm (in the Urals) and Kasachstan, she was a reporter for the "Moskauer Deutsche Zeitung" ("Moscow's German Newspaper"), app programmer in Winterthur, IT-executive at Rotpunktverlag Zurich, Young-Green-Party politician, and she has taught – her favorite job so far – physics to engineering students in Lausanne: mechanics, electronical engineering, quantum theory. Sie talks fast and thinks even faster. One of her favorite phrases is: "Let's get this shit done!" If there is anything Vuillemin doesn't understand, it isn't she who has a problem, but the person saying the incomprehensible. The cooperative company Project R strives for advancement in journalism and imparting of relevant information and her first project is the digital magazine "Republik" – ("Republic") – uncompromising in quality, financed by its readers, without advertising and without bullshit.
Clara's job with Project R is to build an IT-architecture: open source, usable for other media and designers, adaptable to evolution and ideas from the editorial office: "I want it to be beautiful. I want it to be fast. I want it to be safe."
